Venza Performance in Snow and Ice
I've lived in PA for 25 years and gotten by fine with FWD in the snow. What is the experience Venza owners have had with FWD versions in the snow? I am particularly interested in 6 cyl reports, since it appears they have the better tires. The reports on the 19" tire quality and limited availability, which is the same as that used on the Highlander, scare me, and I was initially interested in a 4 cyl model. It sounds like Highlander owners are downsizing their 19" rims to get access to decent all-weather tires. I realize everyone is driving on new tires, so the problem of what happen as the tires wear is still a mystery, although the Michelins seem to work well enough over time in other vehicles.
two weekends ago, we had 6-8 inches snow along I-64 and I-95. Took us 6 hours from Chesapeake to Washington DC because of the snow storm. We made many stops for bathroom breaks and to get food and gas. Many local roads were covered with snow and Venza V6 FWD performed flawlessly.
Front and back wipers performed great as well.
Overall, it was fun and joyous drive despite the snow storm.
I have a little more than 1000 miles on my 4 cyl. Venza and am very pleased with the car so far. However, I've read too many bad reviews about the standard Bridgestone Dueler 245/55R 19-inch all-season tires to risk driving on them during our harsh Syracuse winters. Have therefore ordered 4 Blizzak DM-V1 Bridgestone Light Truck/SUV Studless Ice and Snow winter tires. Will let you know how I do.
michiganmike1 Posts: 14I have only had my Venza for ten days and have not driven on ice and snow yet. It was reassuring to read the positive report from normvenza09 above.
However, there was a review of the Venza at online.wsj.com which reported:
"The huge wheels made the Venza a handful in the snow, where it often struggled to gain traction. Even mild acceleration would cause the stability-control system to kick in, reducing power and applying single-wheel braking to quell slippage, thus rendering the benefits of all-wheel drive moot. When it comes to winter driving, the Venza is the worst all-wheel-drive vehicle I have ever tested."
Although the review does not state it, I suspect the test car may have had Goodyear RSA tires which are reported in survey results at tirerack.com to not be as capable in snow as the Michelin Latitude tires that are also available OEM on the Venza. I should have first hand experience with snow and ice in another couple months.
Hello again Michiganmike.
I thank you again for your great comments. I will be taking a look at those sites. On my end i researched the tires for next year. I will be using 18" tires for winter. Please let me know your first hand experience in snow, and ice.
As a general rule the larger diameter wheel means a lower/short tire sidewall. Short sidewall results in less flex, lower CSA contact patch area, slightly improved FE.
Lower CSA results in higher propensity for slippage when roadbed conditions are becoming marginal. It also appears to me that the manufacturers of FWD and F/awd vehicles are becoming more safety conscious and therefore the TRAC firmware is being revised to be somewhat more aggressive.
Turning TRAC off and learning to "feather" the throttle "just so" would be the answer. Especially so if the TC off function doesn't disable the automatic driveline coupling to the rear with low speed acceleration.
I like the look of the Venza, but I'm interested to learn more about its AWD. From the brochure "Active Torque, "adjusts torque (power) to the right wheels at just the right moment".
My experience is that I prefer the predictability of permanent 4 wheel drive as in BMW X, VW 4motion and I think Subaru. I have had poor experience with some other "smart" AWD systems (especially with large low profile tire /wheel combos) changing configuration, particularly when going down hill in snow/ice conditions.
Some AWD drive vehicles allowed you to "lock" the front rear split by a switch or others when you turned off the OD - this seemed to give better driving feel.
As far as I can tell this AWD is fully automatic and I can't control the front/rear ratios for downhill icy or packed snow motorway conditions. If I'm paying for AWD I prefer to be able to control when its operational, at least in bad weather.
Can anyone tell me for sure or have experience in icy conditions?
I have no doubts about acceleration or uphill road performance its what happens going downhill when you take your foot off the the gas that concerns me.
"..going downhill...concerns me..."
As well it should...!!
That is only one of the MAJOR safety short-comings of a FWD or a F/awd vehicle, downhill on a slippery slope. Get off the gas, engine braking at the front results in the rear attempting to LEAD.
Just one of the many good reasons to stay with R/awd or even RWD...SAFETY.
By the way the 2010 RX350 has this very same F/awd system but also has a manual lock control. But that doesn't change the fact that it is virtually ALWAYS front torque biased system and thus patently UNSAFE for wintertime use.
"..learn more about AWD.."
Ford makes heavy use of this design for all of the F/awd product, as does Mazda. Porsche now uses the same electro-mechanical linear control clutch technique, R/awd, for the newest 911 model. It has proved to be quite problematic for Ford, early models allowed manual control but had a temperature sensor to warn the driver that the rear drive coupling was beginning to overheat.
The manual control was dropped as was the temperature sensor and then the next weakest link, the PTO began to fail due to overheating. Mazda solved the problem via cooling of the PTO using engine coolant flow. Apparently Ford chose to detune/derate the F/awd functionality in order to reduce the failure rate.
It will be interesting to see what the failure rate of the RX350's new F/awd system will be.
Sorry but you lost me with F/awd and R/awd .... I understand 4WD and AWD.
Not sure I agree with you on RWD (rear wheel) being safer, you only need to see the RWD limo drivers (and others) pointing the wrong way in minor ice or snow.
The worst one I experienced was my wife's FX45 - sure it was great in the dry or even rain, but show it snow or ice and it was a different story. The AWD designed to launch in AWD and revert to RWD if it sensed no traction issues. However with those big wheels and wide tires, traction was horrible. When all 4 wheels slipped on ice it could decide it liked RWD.
It had a an override for AWD but that would turn off if you went over 25mph - not the best decision.
For sure we can say a competent driver, with RWD will still do better than a fool in AWD especially if its too smart for its own good and has no manual override mode.
I use F/awd to designate that the AWD system is an "add-on" to a base FWD vehicle. Almost all of these either run in FWD only for most of the time, or are front torque biased. Only the SH-AWD system has the ability to bias engine torque primarily to the rear.
R/awd...self explanatory.
RWD and R/awd vehicles have a higher safety factor simply because even if you get to too lead-footed you will still have the front tire traction to maintain control. Get "lead-footed" with a FWD or F/awd and you better hope that TC will be QUICK to intervene, most are.
"..over 25MPH..."
Anyone who has any high level of experience with 4WD or 4X4 vehicle driving on adverse roadbeds will tell you that once underway at a reasonable roadspeed the front drive should be disengaged.
To my (meager) knowledge there is no such thing as a "full-time" F/awd system insofar as operation on an adverse condition, low traction, roadbed is concerned. Systems wherein the rear drive capability is always enabled/armed and at the ready, yes.
Most of these systems, inclusive of the Venza, use TC, Traction Control, to automatically apportion engine torque to the rear after, ONLY after, loss of traction at the front is detected. Basically just like 4WD systems that should NEVER be engaged unless operating on a low traction system, except in the case of F/awd automatic engagement rather than manual.

Nail in the head ...
What has this to do with the fact, that woman are different???
I know by lifelone experience, that men can have also a Nail in their head. They would talk in a different way in order to tell rthe other one, that "this nail" is not the reason- And they would not say: "Just listen". How can one think, that stupidity is a sign of being a woman!?

Yarnish began almost 10 years ago when, after googling "how to knit", I stumbled upon the world of knitting blogs. I bought myself a copy of Stitch N Bitch by Debbie Stoller, joined the Yarn Harlot's Thrummed Mitt KAL, and within a month I was having breakfast with some bloggy ladies who were destined to become some of my closest friends.
(Yeah, it was strange meeting people from inside the computer. I was afraid to tell my friends and family about it, because at the time it just seemed so WEIRD to meet up with people that you met on a website. How things have changed!)
Anyway, as I got more tech-savvy, I moved from Blogger to Typepad, and eventually (December 2006) to my own domain at www.yarnish.com. About this time I took a hiatus from my career in financial services and wrote a comprehensive knitting stitch dictionary called A Field Guide to Knitting.
Just as I was finishing up the Book in the spring of 2007, Eric (my husband) took a job in Manhattan, and within 4 weeks we had uprooted from Boston – sold the condo, hugged and kissed our family and friends goodbye, and found an apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. After settling us in, I spent a year studying at the UCB Theatre, took an investor services position with a private equity firm in midtown, and got pregnant with our first child. It was a great couple of years.
In the year after EJ was born, we moved back to Massachusetts to be near my extensive Irish-Catholic tight-knit family. Tommy was born soon thereafter, and now the boys spend their days riding bikes on Grandpa's deck, and getting Ton-Ton rides from their numerous uncles.
And I? Well, I hung my shingle, and have spent the past few years providing strategic and financial consulting services to closely-held businesses throughout New England.

Hello all,
This is my living room. 13 x 22
I am getting an Epson 5010 projector (as you see I need all the lumens I can get) and I am looking for a screen that can handle this much ambient light.
My walls and floors are white.
The sliding door panel you see on the left.... I have 4 of those
Obviously I will get some kind of blackout curtain of some sorts to cover the glass sliding doors during for "during the day watching" (any recommendations on this also welcome).
My questions would be, what kind of screen would you recommend?
I am looking into Dalite 2.6 gain HP screen because my viewing angle is very narrow and I have lots of ambient light.
Should I go something with even higher gain?
I appreciate your inputs in advance

Byou are going between brass and brass.
I would use a brass nipple.
Hello everyone,
I've been lurking these forums for a while now and am very impressed with the wealth of information presented! Now it's time for me to ask for some advice.
I had a new boiler installed about 4 years ago and recently have noticed one nipple that is starting to rust out. The nipple is between the backflow preventer and what I believe to be a pressure valve. The nipple at the bottom of the pic is connected to the hot pipe coming from the boiler. See the attached pic.
Should I replace this with a dielectric nipple to avoid anymore future corrosion?
What I find interesting is the nipple below the "pressure valve" doesn't show any signs of the similar corrosion.
Byou are going between brass and brass.
I would use a brass nipple.
Thanks for the reply.
Of course it needs to be brass . . . I don't know what I was thinking!
Must have been the previous thread that got me thinking about dielectric fittings.

Candie's Debuts Spring Campaign Starring Carly Rae Jepsen
Singer/songwriter and breakout pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen will appear in Candie's, Only at Kohl's Spring 2013 multi-media marketing campaign. Candie's is sold exclusively at Kohl's Department Stores nationwide and Kohls.com. Carly joins the elite list of Candie's superstar spokeswomen including Britney Spears, Fergie, Lea Michele and others.
Carly has taken America by storm after bursting onto the scene in the US with her chart topping single "Call Me Maybe." Unforgettably catchy, the hit song which she co-wrote, had the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart where it remained for nine consecutive weeks. "Call Me Maybe" is also an international sensation, climbing to No. 1 on the iTunes Singles charts in over 37 countries, spawning over 400 million YouTube views and inspiring other stars including, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, James Franco and even the Cookie Monster to create their own viral videos.
"I feel very honored to be the next Candie's girl," Carly Rae Jepsen stated. "It's a dream come true to be in the company of such amazing women! The photo-shoot was really fun because it was so different- I'm actually the photographer as well and can't wait to share it with my fans!"
The concept for the campaign is unique because it was photographed by Carly herself using a portable photobooth. This is the first time a celebrity spokesperson has shot their own fashion campaign. Carly playfully snapped pictures of herself posing in front of the photo booth and even picked her own fun props to create a carefree and flirty campaign.
Dari Marder, chief marketing officer, Iconix Brand Group stated, "Carly is a pop culture phenomenon and our Candie's customers feels like she's their best friend. She's relatable, but her lifestyle is completely aspirational to them. This junior customer is also obsessed with Instagram, so we loved the idea of letting Carly go wild and shoot her own pictures in a photo booth we had on set."
Carly will make personal appearances on behalf of the brand throughout the year as well as host events for Candie's and Kohl's. The multi-media campaign will debut in March issues of fashion and lifestyle magazines such as Seventeen, People StyleWatch, Teen Vogue and Cosmopolitan, as well as online, outdoor and in Kohl's marketing vehicles. The campaign was shot in Los Angeles at Siren Studios.
"We're proud to feature pop icon Carly Rae Jepsen in the 2013 Candie's Only at Kohl's campaign," said Nancy Carruth, senior vice president of marketing brand management for Kohl's Department Stores. "Stylish, confident and relevant, Jepsen personifies the Candie's brand. We are certain she will resonate with our young shoppers who demand exceptional style at an incredible value."

This Leap Day, 28-year-old Larimore Woman Turns 7...Technically(WDAZ-TV) - Today, February 29, is a date that only shows up on calendars every four years. And when it does, people born on this day get to celebrate on the actual date they were born.
By: David Schwab, WDAZ
(WDAZ-TV) - Today, February 29, is a date that only shows up on calendars every four years.
And when it does, people born on this day get to celebrate on the actual date they were born.
Alyson Yahna from Larimore is celebrating her 28th birthday, but this is only the seventh time she has been able to celebrate it on the 29th.
She says these are the birthdays she really remembers.
Yahna broke out her baby book to reminisce about her past birthdays. She's 28 now, and by far the biggest ones were those that landed on her actual birth date of February 29th.
"It was a huge deal for the whole school when I had a birthday. I invited everyone from my entire class," Yahna said.
Alyson says the most memorable birthday yet was her 16th or technically her 4th that landed on the 29th, that's when the entire school in Larimore held a party.
"Everybody comes out of the wood work to wish me a happy birthday. Because it's something that people don't forget about. They only know one or two people with that birthday so it's something that people would normally not forget," Yahna said.
So how does Alyson mark her birthdays without a February 29th for the three years in between leap year? She says she just picks a day that it's the most convenient to celebrate the day.
"If the weekend is closer in February, I celebrate it then. I don't celebrate my birthday every because I was born in February, not March," Yahna said.
Alyson's birth on this day in 1984 in Grand Forks did make a couple firsts. A birth announcement from then United Hospital shows she made some local history.
"And it does say toward the very bottom that I was the second Leap Day baby born in Grand Forks county at the hospital and the only girl," Yahna said.
Alyson's daughter will turn seven years old next month. She says it's kind of a family running joke that only counting leap year birthdays that they will be the same age.

K16 Introduced To Focus KDE's Future
"Where will KDE be in five years,"asks KDE e.V. board member, Frank Karlitschek, and the K16 planning meetings aim to focus community members 'visions' for the project to answer this question.
The first K16 meeting is currently planned for an extended weekend in early 2011 (exact date yet to be determined) and will bring together the members of the K16 organization team and selected members of the KDE community and beyond who are interested in the future of KDE.
K16 is seeking "visionaries, strategists, planners, out-of-the-box-thinkers, realists, dreamers, doers, creators, leaders, coders" and more to "share their visions" for what the KDE project could become in 2016.
From these "visions", K16's goal is to conceive a five year project plan that executes a shared vision and moves the community and development of KDE in common direction.
More information on K16 and how to participate can be found on the KDE website.

3. Texas A&M won last year 63-21. "That game feels like ancient history now."

8. More Spurrier: "I've coached more there (Neyland Stadium) than some of their head coaches."
9. After an off week, will Tennessee "get wacky" against South Carolina? Tennessee's schedule and the "slim margin for error."
10. Facing a run-first Arkansas offense means Alabama will get more opportunities to play out of its base 3-4 defense.
11. Before his first-ever college start, Missouri freshman quarterback Maty Mauk gets a text message from former Tiger quarterback Chase Daniel.
12. Florida quarterback Tyler Murphy: "Nothing would be worse than losing to Missouri going into a bye week." Rumor. Update: Reported shoulder injury but will play.
13. Georgia coach Mark Richt on whether conditioning could help prevent injuries: "With the ACL, I don't think there's anything to do with conditioning."
14. Georgia has won the games but playing at Vanderbilt hasn't been easy in recent years.
15. Vanderbilt wide receiver Jordan Matthews just 103 receiving yards away from the setting the all-time SEC mark.
16. Does the second half of the schedule get easier for Mississippi State? First six opponents have a 29-10 record. Last six are a combined 23-14.

22. Mississippi State forward Gavin Ware: "I wanted to be Dwight Howard as a younger player, but then quickly realized I can't jump like that."
23. Will Tennessee be able to solve zone defenses this season?
24. Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin: "We've got competitive practices; we've got healthy bodies. That helps."
25. South Carolina coach Frank Martin: "I'm not the big grizzly bear everybody thinks I am."
26. Arkansas coach Mike Anderson: "The Fastest 40 Minutes will get faster this year."
27. Vanderbilt will have competition at the power forward position.
28. LSU forward Johnny O'Bryant: "We think we can be No. 1. Being picked fourth is nice, but we're going to keep trying to get better."

Bridges play a crucial role in connecting people, places and commodities. Yet as well as being functional, a lot of these structures are designed with an imaginative touch that adds to their surrounding environments. Still, sometimes building such important links over rivers and other waterways can prove especially challenging. And bridges for pedestrian and vehicle traffic may disrupt the movement of ships and barges – which in turn can be bad for business.
To compensate for this, inventive engineers and architects have risen to the challenge, creating a range of movable bridges that are intended to work in harmony with water traffic, causing as little disruption as possible. The following ten movable bridges have all been masterfully engineered, and among them are traditional examples, as well as more unusual designs – some of which even curl and fold.

Recently, we heard the news about the milk scares in China that is said to be contaminated by Melamine. For our information, melamine can cause reproductive damage, or bladder or kidney stones, which can lead to bladder cancer if ingested. Thousands of children in China are listed to be positive in this disease and it even causes death to infants. But it was really shocking to know that milk products from China are exported all over the world. With that, all countries are busy inspecting China milk products for Melamine contamination.

Valpo Men Turn in Solid Opening Round for the Season
Related Links
Saturday, September 11, 2010
Valparaiso's men's golf team turned in a solid first round on Saturday at the Fossum Invitational held at the Forest Akers Golf Course in East Lansing, Mich., placing seventh out of 15 teams. The Crusaders had moved into a tie for third early in round two when play was suspended for the day due to heavy rains.
Play will resume with the completion of the second round on Sunday morning beginning at 8 a.m. CDT, with the tournament being reduced to a 36-hole event.
Valpo shot 310 as a team in the opening round, and was just five shots out of second place. Michigan State, the tournament host, led the way with a six-over par 294 on the 7,013-yard, par-72 layout. The Crusaders started strong in round two, and were just one-over par with players having finished two to four holes thus far, and moved into a tie with Dayton, just four shots behind second place James Madison.
"This is the best we have looked after day one since we began the program last year," head coach Mike Higdon said. "We have to try and close this out tomorrow. We are looking for a top-five finish and we have put ourselves in a position to do it."
Freshmen Kyle Henning (Brookfield, Wis./East H.S.) led the way for the Brown and Gold in round one with a three-over par 75 and was tied for ninth overall. Classmate Thomas Wettstein (Neenah, Wis./Xavier H.S.) also had a solid collegiate debut, shooting a 77.
"It was good to see our freshmen step up," Higdon added. "Kyle led the way for us and Thomas was tied for second on the team."
Wettstein tied with Josh Kalita (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton H.S.) who also carded a 77 in round one. The duo was tied for 26th overall. Brad Winters (Elgin, Ill./Saint Edward H.S.) rounded out the scorers for the Crusaders shooting an opening round 81.
Individually, five players shot 73 in round one to lead the way overall.

How Downing Street and the History of New York Are Tied Together
By many accounts, George Downing was a right bastard. Samuel Pepys, the noted diarist of London and English bureaucrat said of Downing that he was a "perfidious rogue" and remarks that "all the world took notice of him for a most ungrateful villain for his pains."
Yet without this man, this rogue, New York City, as well as the United States, would looked markedly different from how it looks today. For one, without Downing, it would be likely that we would currently be living in the great country of Connecticut. But I'm getting ahead of myself a bit.
Here's some background – Downing was born in Dublin, but moved to the Massachusetts colony with his parents when he was fifteen years old. He not only attended Harvard, but was part of its first graduating class in 1642. He was also a Puritan, and he soon found his way to London to help out in Oliver Cromwell's cause and (later) government. By 1657, he became a diplomat to The Netherlands, and took up residence in The Hague, where he proceeded to annoy many leaders in the Dutch government and tried to usurp their trade where ever possible.
When Cromwell's protectorate fell after his death, Downing, clearly seeing which way the wind was blowing, apologized directly to the restored King Charles II, and threw both Cromwell and other Puritans under the proverbial bus, including giving up three of his friends who had helped plan the death of Charles I in 1649. King Charles II, seeing the benefit of having someone with experience in dealing with the Dutch under his thumb, not only allowed Downing to live, but re-instated him as ambassador to the Dutch.
This is where things get a little convoluted, for remember, at this time, New York City was still New Amsterdam, and still "owned" by the Dutch Wast India Company.
Enter John Winthrop, governor of the Connecticut colony, and son of the deceased head of the Puritan in North America, John Winthrop (the elder) who had been the head of the Massachusetts colony, and was also a good friend of Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch Director-
Winthrop the Younger, using his father's friendship as an invitation, paid visit to Stuyvesant in New Amsterdam, and Winthrop was given the courtesy of a visiting head of state. While Stuyvesant showed Winthrop around, and kept up with friendly chatter, the governor of the Connecticut colony was taking notes of the size of New Amsterdam's fort, the amount of guards on duty, and any other perceived tactical weaknesses and strengths that Dutch colony had. Winthrop then traveled across the Atlantic to Amsterdam, and gave a glowing report of the Dutch Colony to the West India Company.
Then Winthrop traveled to the Hague, to meet up with his cousin, George Downing, and it is said that he handed Downing over all of the notes he had taken about the colony. Soon afterwards, maps detailing the fortifications of New Amsterdam were found the halls of English Government.
Winthrop then went to King Charles II, where Winthrop looked for forgiveness for supporting Cromwell's crusade, even at a distance, and then asked for a charter to create a country of Connecticut, and to include all of the lands west of Connecticut, including New York and everything else west all of the way to the Pacific. To the shock of many, including various other British Colonies in North America, Winthrop got it. When Stuyvesant got wind of the charter, he sent a message to Winthrop, asking for confirmation of respecting an earlier treaty between the two colonies. Winthrop responded with double-speak.
George Downing had other plans, and soon double-crossed his cousin Winthrop. Seeing first hand the amount of money the Dutch brought in from their colonies, Downing proposed to his new King that England should take a similar route. Downing, and a group of politicians, merchants, and other members of royalty all agreed that they needed to take a more direct role in overseeing the colonies in America, an approach which was 180 degrees from their previous position under Charles I and later Cromwell. In doing this, the English government soon reneged on their agreement on the Connecticut charter, and the Government soon set their eyes on New Amsterdam. Three years later, in 1664, Charles II gave the land to his "dearest brother James Duke of York", and then took the necessary steps of taking the land away from the West India Company. By September 8, 1664, after a few weeks of negotiation with Peter Stuyvesant, the English entered New Amsterdam, lowered the flag of the Dutch West India company, and raised the cross of St. George. Soon afterwards, New Amsterdam became New York, named after the Catholic brother of Charles II, James, Duke of York.
For this work, and others, Downing became a baronet in 1663. He had another 20 years or so of service to the English crown, and invested in properties close to the English Parliament, and just south of Saint Jame's Park. We know this area today as Downing Street, home to one of the most important addresses in England.

U-17 '90 MNT Fall to Augusta Fireball 4-0
CLEMSON, S.C. (July 18, 2006) - The U.S. Under-17 '90 Men's National Team fell to the Augusta Fireball, 4-0, this afternoon in Clemson, South Carolina, to finish up their weeklong training camp which was held in nearby Athens, Ga.
The U.S. traveled to Clemson for two games against the Augusta Fireball after completing their 30-player training camp at the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga. Hackworth divided the 30 players into two teams for the matches against the Fireballs. In the other match, the U.S. defeated the Augusta Fireball, 3-2.
The U.S. roster for the camp was a mix of players currently in U.S. Soccer's U-17 Residency Program and players that were invited in by head coach John Hackworth, as he continues to scour the player pool before naming the 40-player Residency roster for the fall semester (which begins Aug. 21).
"Our camp here in Athens went really well and it definitely helped us as we move toward the next semester of Residency," said Hackworth. "We wanted to make our '90 and '91 pool of players as large as possible and over the past nine months we've looked at 78 players. Not just 78 players with their club teams, but 78 players that we've actually had in with us for a national team camp, which give us a better chance to really get an understanding of the player's ability and their personality. It's been extremely healthy. The pool of players is not only large, but talented and that makes our job of picking a certain number pretty tough."
In the 4-0 loss, Augusta scored three goals in the first half to set the tone on the day. The first goal in the 13th minute was an unbelievable 35-yard strike by midfielder Mark Bucholz that found the upper left corner of the goal.
Tomak Charowski tallied 10 minutes later and Bucholz scored his second goal on the day, this one off a free kick, before the end of the half.
The final goal came from the foot of forward Fred Moojan, who finished a corner kick from Phil Raby.

Door Chimes
Your first line of defense isn't your alarm system. On the contrary, home security begins outside the home, before an intruder even has the chance to enter. Door chimes provide the optimal solution for anyone seeking an added degree of protection, because they provide instant alerts whenever someone steps onto your property. Whether or not you already have a central security system, these chimes can afford you an invaluable extra level of security.
How do Doorbell Chimes Work?
These wireless door bells use motion sensors to detect human presence. You can mount them onto walls, tables or—in many cases—even trees. And since most of these products are weatherproof, so you should have no concerns about keeping them outside. Your typical chime includes a transmitter and a receiver, which use wireless communication to provide real-time alerts. The transmitter senses motion, and the receiver emits a chime in response .Of course, each product has its own functions and specifications, so be sure to check out the product descriptions to learn more.
A Variety of Useful Applications
These innovative door chimes can even be used to secure your business. Do you run a shop? You'll be alerted whenever a customer enters your store. These devices are also great for driveways, porches, doorways, side yards and decks. While they're no substitute for a fully equipped alarm system, they can definitely reduce your chances of being caught off guard, and they're perfect for individuals who can't yet afford a comprehensive system. You can even use them in tandem with infrared motion detectors.
Already Have an Alarm System?
If you already have a reliable home security system, a door chime can make an invaluable addition. You'll be alerted to the presence of an intruder before the alarm system even has a chance to respond. You can even use these chimes with your existing doorbell system. You'll always have a sense of what's going on, whether someone is intentionally pushing a button to active a chime, or unintentionally activating a sensor as they sneak onto your property.
Order Yours Today
Don't let yourself become a victim. Browse the full selection of responsive door chimes, and get incredible values on these lifesaving security tools. We offer same day shipping on most orders, so you'll be enjoying your new alert system in no time. Shop now!

About our Summer Institute
The Advanced Placement Summer Institute is administered by the UTSA Office of Extended Education and endorsed by the Southwestern Region of the College Board. Our mission is to provide the highest quality of instruction in a professional environment, and to prepare educators in guiding students toward a successful college experience! We set aside several weeks during the summer to bring together consultants from the AP College Board and teachers (even some coming from as far as Chicago or Mexico!). Upon completion of the Institute, teachers will receive an Advanced Placement certificate which serves as their accreditation to teach *Advanced Placement courses in math, sciences, languages, arts, and more.
Our institute this year will be at the main campus, covering AP certifications in Humanities, Math, and Sciences.
Reasons to be excited about Advanced Placement:
- Most students (82.4%) in the Class of 2011 graduated on the state's Recommended or more rigorous Distinguished High School programs; only 17.7% of the Class of 2011 graduated on the Minimum program (percentages equal more than 100% due to rounding).
- The percentage of students completing Advanced Placement or dual-credit courses, an indicator of college readiness, has increased steadily over the last three years: 26.3% in 2009–10, 24.6% in 2008–09, and 23.% in 2007–08.
- Texas ranked 13th among the states in students' achieving high scores on Advanced Placement exams.
- Fourteen Texas public high schools rank among the top 100 schools in the nation, according to Newsweek and US News & World Report.
Information provided by the Texas Association of School Boards

Streets come alive in the metroFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- People in the F-M area turned off their engines, and fueled their bodies with a workout. The " Streets Alive" event Encourages anyone and everyone to ditch their vehicles and pick up their sneakers.
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- People in the F-M area turned off their engines, and fueled their bodies with a workout. The Streets Alive event encourages anyone and everyone to ditch their vehicles and pick up their sneakers.
The streets are alive once again for the annual event, but this year it's a little different. People aren't only flying through the streets, but through the air.
Shawn Francis - Pole Vaulter, Team Nodak: "I think it's great. A bunch of little kids are high-fiving us left and right, so it's just fun."
Shawn Francis and other members of Team Nodak and The NDSU Pole Vaulting team took the place of all motorized vehicles in front of the HODO. They've been trying to show off their high flying skills each year, but this was the first time their plan worked.
Shawn Francis: "I think the more active we can get people and the more they enjoy it and have fun doing it, it's just going to help with everything, not just childhood obesity."
Streets alive encourages people to get active in any way possible, and help them realize they can leave their cars behind more often. Francis hopes with the skills they showed off today, future mini vaulters will get interested to run, vault and fly.
Shawn Francis: "I just think if you can be a good role model for a bunch of kids, and if it takes flying through the air a little bit to get that message across I think why not?"
Rick and Agnes Vernon couldn't keep their eyes off the amazing athletes flying high through the air. 3 of the guys today were clearing 18 feet, that's good enough to get you into the Olympic trials. They like most of the other bikers, walkers, and skaters made a stop at the street vault.
Rick Vernon - Fargo: "I think it's a great deal to see the people so this activity out here on the street, it's not something I'd expect to see."
Agnes Vernon - Fargo: "I love it, I got to tell you though the pole vaulting is way better then any of the other events I've seen in the past it's so unusual, I would have never expected something like this."
Francis and all other team members hope to show off their daring talent at every streets alive event, so while people are getting fit and active, they can also be inspired to go the extra mile.

Our unit was installed in 08, it has all original parts, and has worked fine. However, during the last few days we've noticed it is slow in filling and makes a longish "burping" sound, and then a kind of hiss just as it shuts off. Obviously, these are highly subjective terms, but it's the best I can do.
I've gone through most of the posts, and can't find anything that seems to fit. The tank fills to about an inch below the top of the flush valve. The valve itself feels properly seated, though I haven't checked for cracks. There is no sound of leaking water, however. I've pressed down on the flapper to try to make sure there's a good seal while the fill is going on. There's slack in the chain above the "float," but it is taut below.
As for the sound, I saw that you used the term "water hammer" to describe another member's problem. Regarding pressure on the water heater, etc., we did drain the water heater and shut off the water supply to the house for three months during the winter.. Activated everything six weeks ago.

How do I choose the right water distillation unit?
Here are few points to help you choose the right water distiller. First, how much distilled water do you require daily? How much room do you have to devote to your water distiller? With water distillers you have two main categories to choose from, automatic distillers, and countertop distillers.
Automatic distillers offer the convenience of producing and storing more water, and they distill on-demand. They also require less frequent maintenance when compared with countertop distillers. However, they require that they are permanently connected to a water source.
Countertop water distillers offer the convenience of being portable, easy to set up, and less expensive. Most distill 1 gallon at a time and shut off automatically when it is finished. You can make subsequent gallons of distilled water as long as you are there to fill up your countertop distiller.

Fantasy baseball Prospect Watch: Mariners' Zunino dominating
We've had a week to watch this year's crop of prospects in the minor leagues, but it's still tough to gauge when teams might promote their young talent. While few prospects warrant that elusive call-up right now, Tampa Bay's Wil Myers might be the first significant debut, as tweeted by Baseball America prospect guru Jim Callis. Myers is one of the few players who doesn't need a hot streak or a big league opening to warrant a spot in the major leagues.
Planner | Waiver Wire | Pitching Report | Trade Tips | Stat Focus | Weekend Primer | Prospects
Rays manager Joe Maddon told the Tampa Bay Times this spring that Myers is "better than advertised. Maddon added: "Offensively you can see the prodigious ability, it's absolutely there.
"He's more of a complete player than I thought because everyone has talked about hitting, hitting, hitting. So, I was expecting like a big guy who hit a lot that really didn't move that well. Even though he played the outfield, he had been a catcher. So, all these things sent confusing signals. To see him on the field, he's very athletic and should be a solid five-tool player. He should be able to play all areas of the game above average, and some well-above average."
A face-of-the-franchise type like Myers is more likely to arrive far before mid-June and sign a contract that buys out his six years of control, like Evan Longoria did in 2008. Which other prospects might we see in the not-too-distant future? Glad you asked:
1. C Mike Zunino, 22, Seattle Mariners: The University of Florida product has surged to the front of the line following a four-homer start. He's hitting .385 (10-for-26) with 17 RBI and seven runs scored through six Triple-A games. While Jesus Montero (6-for-34 in nine games) will get plenty of time to prove his worth offensively, Zunino's superior defensive skills may force the Mariners to move Montero to DH or first base.
2. SP Tony Cingrani, 23, Cincinnati Reds: The loss of Sean Marshall (shoulder) to the DL raised the question of whether they might consider Cingrani as a replacement. Nope. Instead, the Reds are determined to keep him stretched out as a starter. "Cingrani is the first call-up if one of my starters go down," Reds manager Dusty Baker told MLB.com on Wednesday. "We kicked around Cingrani before. We didn't want to impede his progress in the bullpen when we're grooming him for a starter. If anything happens to one of my starters, we don't have a whole lot of quality backup." Cingrani followed his awe-inspiring 14-strikeout Triple-A debut with a modest seven strikeouts and a victory in his second start. And, we wait ...
3. OF Billy Hamilton, 22, Cincinnati Reds: Hamilton made the move from shortstop to the outfield this spring, and we already know he's hellacious on the base paths. Hamilton set a minor-league record with 155 combined steals last season, and he's started similarly fast in Triple-A: .296 (8-for-27) with six stolen bases in seven games. Chris Heisey (.161, 5-for-31) will get the first look to replace Ryan Ludwick (torn labrum, out at least three months), but Hamilton is going to be tempting for Baker once he proves worthy defensively, especially if Heisey continues to prove to be the fourth outfielder he's been in his career.
4. OF Yasiel Puig, 22, Los Angeles Dodgers: One of spring training's prospect revelations, Puig has kept a torrid pace -- albeit back in Double-A -- hitting .450 (9-for-20) through six games. He figures to get a move to Triple-A in a hurry, if the Dodgers' veteran outfield stays healthy in the first half.
5. OF Wil Myers, 22, Tampa Bay Rays: It doesn't matter what he is hitting, it is still just a matter of time. Myers doesn't have a Triple-A homer yet, but he has started 9-for-27 (.333) anyway. The fact DH Luke Scott (calf, 15-day DL) is out for the at least a couple more weeks certainly helps Myers' cause.
1. SP Gerrit Cole, 22, PIttsburgh Pirates: The first overall pick of the 2011 draft was on the fast track to the Pirates this spring before a slow start tripped him up. Cole hasn't looked Triple-A worthy, much less call-up worthy, combining for just six innings in his two starts, and allowing nine hits and two walks. The Pirates are treating their closest pitching prospect with kid gloves, so expect any fantasy impact he makes in the majors to come with a pitch count and innings restriction.
2. SP Zack Wheeler, 22, New York Mets: With Johan Santana (shoulder) out for the season and Shaun Marcum (shoulder) not yet ready to make his Mets debut, Wheeler had a chance to be an April call-up. However, he's allowing a .314 batting average through his two Triple-A starts, which put a damper on the possibility of that call-up. He has allowed six runs (three earned) through his 8 2/3 innings, but that pales as a warning sign compared to his six walks. He clearly has work to do right now.
3. SP Dylan Bundy, 20, Baltimore Orioles: The O's breathed a sigh of relief on the No. 1 pitching prospect in baseball as a stiff forearm is now pain free for Bundy. No structural damage was found in the elbow either. He is going to restart a throwing program and try to be ready to pitch in games by May. That makes him no better than a mid-June candidate at this point.
4. 3B Mike Olt, 24, Texas Rangers: The Rangers' had considered keeping him around to play relatively full time between first, third, the outfield and at DH, but their decision to send him down to start the season appears to be justified. He is hitting just .097 (3-for-31) with 14 strikeouts in eight games. Those are NL pitcher hitting numbers.
5. SS Dee Gordon, 24, Los Angeles Dodgers: What does it say about Gordon's future when Justin Sellers (.167, 4-for-24) is the Dodgers' choice at shortstop right now? Not much, er, perhaps a whole lot. Gordon has started just 6-for-29 (.207), but he does have five steals and six runs in seven games. Gordon has to be at least as productive as Sellers, right? Right? Ugh.
